Uhh, dildo.
I keep an extremely small 64GB USB-A/USB-C flash drive on my Keychain so I can move files between phones, phone to computer, or load movies and TV shows from a computer or phone and plug into a TV to play.
It’s only $10 and sometimes it’s very convenient to always have on hand the ability to move files around without the use of a network or the cloud or whatever. The size of it is extremely small.

DYMO Embossing Label Maker
They’re like $9 on Amazon and I label everything. I have 2 myself, and they’re also my go-to for white-elephant parties.
You can get a wax seal kit for that much. I have a whole set now, but I seal absolutely everything. All you need is a candle, a wax melting spoon, a seal, and sealing wax
manual pull string food processor.
I love chopping up food with it. It’s very fun and works perfectly.
immersion blender honorable mention.
I have a salad spinner like that; use it all the time.
Nice. I’ve only seen salad spinners with those inconvenient handles on the top that I don’t like to use, so I’m glad to hear they’re using the pull ring finally.
Do you mean like…those gyroscopes you’d spin up using twine?
i’m not sure what you mean.
I’m talking about one of these manual food processors:

the one I have is a little more ergonomic with a ring on top.
Victorinox Nail Clippers:

The page says two functions, what’s the second one?
(and to all smart-asses out there: what’s the first one?)
I’m a smart-ass. It cuts nails.
I’m guessing the 2nd “function” is the lanyard hole.
"Tools
Lanyard hole"
Open and close? Fingernails and toenails?
I’ve been looking for a decent pair of nail clippers for ages. Just ordered, thanks!
Get into locksport!
Check your state/local laws before buying anything, not legal to own lockpicks everywhere.
21 dollars shipping ._.
I wish there was a place for people to send random locks they break off or find to newbies like me. Buying a lock just to pick it feels insane, but I also want to feel that delicious click out of 1
Maybe look for a habitat for humanity ReStore?
You can check local locksmiths. Some might be willing to sell cheap junk locks that are still good for picking. Or buy a core that can be repinned.
LED adhesive strip lighting for the back of my TV. Back lighting is super soft on the eyes and with color changing you can incorporate the color to match the mood. Playing Zelda, green. Watching sci-fi blue/purple. Halloween content, orange. Etc
Car charger that does the OnePlus specific fast charge thing. Cost me $12 delivered on AliExpress. Adds about 2% per minute to my phone battery. I love it so much.
It also has a second port which does “normal” fast charge for any passengers.
Wouldn’t that wear out the battery faster?
Faster charging means more heat, which means more ware on the battery?
I had to get a new battery for my OP6T after using it for over 5 years - exclusively charging it using the fast charger. I’m sure that I can get another 3 years out of this phone, at the very least.
The battery + replacement service fee was around 40 USD.
I don’t expect much more from the battery TBH.
You think normies care?
My basic bitch wireless phone charger stand. Holds it at a good angle so I can see when someone sending me a Teams message while I’m pretending to work.
I saw someone going off about how wireless charging is a stupid gimmick and liking it just means you fell for the marketing hype.
So I guess you and I are suckers. I love my INIU wireless charging stands that I bought 2 of for $30 or whatever
I love wireless charging. I don’t know how it would be a gimmick, except that it’s slower than using a cord (but I think the next generation is supposed to be really fast). They make DIY wireless chargers that you can wire up and put in things. I have two that I mounted under the little tray on top of my dash. I put my wireless charging earbuds case in the tray and it automatically charges while I’m driving. I have a flashlight that can charge there too. The tray is too small for a phone or else a phone could charge there. I’ve been thinking about putting one inside my nightstand at home https://a.co/d/gdghAWp
I also like magnetic phone holders with wireless charging. I made mine out of a different type of mount and charger but it’s something like the link. I have one mounted to my dash where I can see the phone if I need nav or something, it holds it firmly and charges as I’m driving. Also mounted one on my desk next to the computer. https://a.co/d/7pauuzO
I honestly felt wireless charging was stupid until I finally got a phone that happened to have that capability and a cheap charger gifted to me. It’s so nice especially if you use your phone as a secondary screen. And on IOS with that new thing where it shows your calendar and the weather when “docked” on a wireless charger is just a *chefs kiss*
I knew I’d like it as soon as it was announced, just not for the same reason I thought (no damaged USB ports). What I really love is not having wires everywhere that get caught on this
USB hand warmers. I am very sensitive to the cold and its so nice to hold while walking around or keeping in your pockets
The old Pier 1 Imports back scratchers. They use to sell for 75¢.
My dad had a bunch of these when I was a kid. Super durable and great as back scratchers or just a stick to play with. I bought a few after finding them online and love having them.
I got some that were nicely finished bamboo but they didn’t have enough of a sharp edge at the business end to really give a good scratch like the ones from my youth. Fortunately that was easily rectified with a couple seconds on a belt sander.
Ha! I have one of these sitting next to me on my desk. It’s multi-function, as it works great for reaching up and opening and closing my curtains too.
Mantric Rechargeable Remote Control Knicker Vibrator I got on sale for 50% off. I’m not super into the whole public thing, but I’ve been using it way more than my magic wand, that fucking tip is shaped perfectly. Plus it would make an excellent phaser prop.
I want to see an image of this but I don’t want it in my search history
Not really what I was looking for but okay…
Hey, you opened the door! 🤣
So does this gadget
Thanks for the laugh both of you.
Dang it, 4 replies down and I’m horny already
Yeah, I can see that, but it’s like $70. Yes, I looked.
Seems some if not all of the big online adult stores run frequent promotions, be that for “get a free X with purchase”, buy one get one or just flat “40% off one item” so wait for the right promotion and jump on it.
I can’t not see this now
A nice pepper grinder! Makes every meal better
My pepper grinder was $35, got it from a woodworker at a local farmers market, definitely worth it.
Nice salt is great too!
Kosher salt ftw, I have a little dish with a lid, looks great on the counter but is also super functional
I resisted, but now I’m a believer in Maldon salt.
For salt I just grabbed a small diner style salt shaker, it’s really cute and makes it easy to control portions
My Glucusent book light, I use it every night when I read before bed. It is the best book light I’ve ever had and I absolutely love it.

Ooh, thanks, I’ve been wondering about getting a book light, but I haven’t used one since the '90s and they were kind of terrible then.
This is my go-to reading light https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GG42WXY
